Problems solved by technology

Most of the known processes or synthesis of substituted β-benzyl-γ-butyrolactones are either inconvenient to carry out on higher scale because of the complexity of the reactions or due to the unavailability of the starting materials.
These methods also suffer from low over all yields.
They also involve complex experimental conditions, which are lacking reproducibility.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel synthetic process for the enriched preparation of substituted R(+)β-benzyl-γ-butyrolactone (1) as shown in the drawing wherein R1 and R2 independently or in combination represent the following groups: i.e. R1═R2═H, —OCnH2n+1 (where n=1 to 8); R1, and R2 together represents —O(CH2)mO— (where m=2 to 4)

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a novel process for the enriched preparation of substituted R(+)β-benzyl-γ-butyrolactones of the formula (1).BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART REFERENCES[0002]Substituted β-benzyl-γ-butyrolactones are known for their biological properties such as anticancer activities and they are also the key intermediates in the synthesis of butyrolactone lignans as well as other natural products. Due to various pharmacological and medicinal properties associated with butyrolactones and related lignans, the chemical synthesis of the intermediate butyrolactones has been the major target of several synthetic schemes. One of the more common synthetic strategies utilizes Stobbes condensation of an aromatic aldehyde with alkyl succinates followed by selective reduction (Banerji, J., Biswanath, D. Heterocycles, 1985, 23(3), 661–5 (b) Shao, L., Miyato, S., Muramatsui, H., Kawano, H., Ishi, Y., Soburi, M., Uchida, Y. J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. (I), 1990...
